Occipital Neuralgia: What treatments work for you?

I've had the ON for a little over a year now... before it was Trigeminal Neuralgia ( which comes and goes) but the Occipital Neuralgia is always present. It can be very mild and extreme... I do my best not to let it get extreme. I am using many methods to manage muscle tension and pain. Latest is Botox... still not sure if it's helping. I will do a second round in about a month.

Hi @lisa2022 - Ah yes, Botox....it was questionable for me too. I tried it for ON and migraine for well over a year, then finally had enough. The only thing to do is try. Give it time. Some people swear by it. I seem to recall my Neurologist said 3 rounds before you know.
